Semper Fortis 12.8
My wife and I. We both have theatre background. And we're not about to launch into a boring six paragraph dissertation on any TV show or movie. We would like to think that our light-hearted, semi-non sequitur reviews based upon the silly MST3K model might be enjoyable for some. WE get a kick out of it ; ).
"Practicing medicine without a license" would include a mother putting a
bandage on her son's scraped knee. Think about THAT.
8-stars. Everything starts with an 8-star rating.
Unfortunately this episode is yet another non-starter as we will explain:
The executive producers Gary Glasberg and Donald P. Bellisario along with
writers Matthew R. Jarrett and Scott J. Jarrett do a grave disservice to
anyone living in The United States or anywhere else where Good Samaritan Laws apply. Imagine a person who might be able to assist your injured neighbor, friend, relative, loved one or yourself but they don't render assistance because of disinformation supplied in this episode. We don't find evidence of any lawsuits brought against Glasberg, Bellisario or the
Jarretts nor do we find any attempt to include a disclaimer in the production.
We think that, at the very least, those in the medical professions, first
responders and police would be aware of these laws. But ideally they should be common knowledge throughout the general population.
5-stars.
Tony asking Ben leading questions. You so pro, bro.
Hollywood cliche #020: someone must feel guilty for a situation beyond their control.
"You can't change the law"?!
"We won't win"?! That's the attitude lady lawyer. You so pro.
4-stars.
What kind of genius steals a truck from a garage then rolls the door halfway down?
Umm Abby? The evidence bag with the big wrench in it? Dropping it onto the table will most likely cause a tear in the bag resulting in contamination.
You so pro.
Ah yeah. The black roses. Way to go, Burt.
Having to do community service indicates that the corpsman was pronounced guilty of a charge by a judge in a courtroom. When did that happen?
3-stars.
Connect Emotionally With Character(s)? Yes.
4-stars.
